Hi guys,
Just wanted to solicit some advice. I'm currently looking into opportunities for the summer of 2019 and am fortunate enough to have offers at 3 out of the 4 places listed (Goldman NYC, Moelis LA, JPM NYC, Moelis NYC). Does anyone have good insight into where I could potentially get the best experience based on the follow attributes:
--culture/hours --mentorship --deal exposure --exit opps
I know these are incredible opportunities and could really use some advice. Thank you guys in advance!
GS NYC > Moco LA > JPM NYC > Moco NYC
If you don’t mind the west coast then Moelis LA is probably the best
Moelis LA > GS NYC >> JPM NYC = Moelis NY
Would toss out JPM NY and Moelis NY like other posters have mentioned above.
I think between GS NY and Moelis LA, it should be a debate on EB vs BB. Obviously, GS has the bigger name outside of finance and gives the most optionality. But with GS you also have to go through group placement whereas you get a real generalist program in M&A and RX with Moelis (which, given your username, may be attractive). Honestly, Moelis will work you hard, but the top groups in GS (TMT, FIG) will also be sweatshops. As for exit ops, both are stellar. GS is GS and will get you an interview anywhere. Moelis LA is absolutely filthy in the west coast and have heard of people who were able to recruit in NY (apollo, centerbridge). Moelis will also probably pay you more.
